Yes, as the odometer is placed in a conspicuous place. Also, it is required by many auto dealerships to check how much mileage is in a car, to ensure that it still functions.

How can I check whether the odometer on a preowned vehicle has been tampered with?

It is easiest to check for odometer tampering if the odometer is not digital. Look at the numbers and see if they all line up at the top and bottom. Unless a number is about to change the line of numbers should be straight and they should not jiggle when tapped. Get a free CarFax Odometer Report and look for discrepancies that might appear on mileage, look at the cars title and service records and compare mileage, and see if the cars wear and tear matches with the mileage.
